The Origami Forum

Hello everyone, I´ve two questions:
1-someone knows how to fold correctly step 8 of Braided Paper (diagram in http://www.origami.com)?
2-What´s technically a pleat sink? I thought it was that sink where you keep part of the top of the point without sinking (well, if you´re sinking a point), but that one doesn´t appear to be what the diagram is asking for.

Looks like you just do four reverse folds, one for each point.

Euan

Actually these are not reverse folds, but sink folds. Step seven is a reverse, then you just triangularly sink the flap in half.

can someone please post a pic of a finished braided paper model

i can not figure out step8 still can someone please help

I ignored step 8.
I've done step 7 that is a reverse fold in the inner flaps
(as shown in x-r )and then done step 9 and it was o.k.
I've tried to take photo but it is hurd to take photo of the inner flap.
I hope it helps .If not I 'll try to eplain in a private mesage or with photos.

i have already made 2 models skipping step8 but i would like to do the model correctly

To tell you the truth -until now I didn't mind to fold the model not correctly but now you gave me a challenge....I am working on it .If I'll succid I'll post the photo.

The corect model Iv'e done-

Ater step 7 when you done reverse fold you have to fold again the inner flap to half.to open the last fold and to open also the first reverse fold .Now you have to do 3 alternate reverse fold and this 3 reverse fold are the pleat sink in step 8.
this is the photo of the pleat sink

I hope that now I realy helped.

yes u did help thank u very much and im glad i persuaded u to fold the model correctly

You can fold it very small, as you can see before, or very big :

OMG i would hate to have done the sinking and reversefolding on those

If you did step 7 correctly, step 8 shouldn't be much of a problem. Just sink again, only this time it is a shorter area since the flap was shortened in step 7.
